What's a Glimmer?
You know when you have that ride: an epic adventure exploring a new city, a heavy session with a big crew, or maybe just a solo cruise in the neighborhood hitting curb cuts and your go-to spots? It's the ride that completely consumes you and is both energizing and freeing. Maybe it disrupts something that you’re doing or thinking that isn’t settling, offers you an opportunity to catch up with someone you haven’t seen in a bit, prompts you take a different route and come across something new, or maybe just gives you some space to be in your head with your own thoughts and recharge.
All of these moments are essential parts of what draw us to pick up our bikes and keep pedaling. To us, a Glimmer is that moment when you recognize that you are present, focused, when the volume of everything else around you is silenced, and all that you are doing is riding your bike.
